Post Meet Press:
"It was an great showing by both teams," said Head Coach
Connor Green. "After competing so well last weekend at D3 New England coming into this meet, we had the goal of just getting out there and competing well against some really high caliber teams. It's been a long indoor season and I'm thrilled with the growth of this program since December. There's plenty of work to still be done onto outdoor!"
